Hoboken High School Graduates Class Of 2017

HOBOKEN, NJ — The field at JFK Stadium was flooded with red and white last week when 118 Hoboken High School seniors received well-earned diplomas during the school’s annual commencement ceremony.

During the June 22 ceremony, the 2017 salutatorian, E'Nigel Owusu Ansah, and valedictorian, Vicents Morales, each gave speeches, each thanking their families and lauding the community spirit of their alma mater.

Superintendent Christine Johnson told the Hudson Reporter that 91 percent of the class of 2017 have been accepted to two or four-year colleges and universities, five percent have been accepted to technical schools, and four percent have been accepted to military or prep schools.
